My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar has been found dead at home aged 44 as tributes poured in for the star.
The musician was discovered by officials in the US state of Tennessee on Wednesday (November 27) after no one had heard from him for over three weeks.
His body was discovered by Animal Control, who had attended the property to remove two dogs but instead saw the drummer’s lifeless body instead.
Bryar joined rock band My Chemical Romance in 2004, performing with the band until his departure in 2010, which included the band’s critically acclaimed album the Black Parade.

The musician was also famous for suffering numerous injuries on tour, which included suffering third-degree burns when he got too close to flames at a gig.
Bryar left the music industry completely in 2014 and spent the last few years of his life working in real estate and helping out at animal rescue centres.
His cause of death is unknown. Tributes poured in for the drummer online.
One wrote: “The beat of a generation has gone silent.
